    Ive just had a mad panic about Bea starting school....oh God

    I had a moment like that yesterday when I saw DS in his new uniform :eek:

    Plus i'll miss him during the day at work, I was lucky to see him loads because I work at his primary school :(
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

  • @ sammy - Congratulations to you and your DD! :j

    Does anyone know where the link for the template letter to ask DCAs to only contact you in writing is? Someone on the main board's asking for it. Why aren't they all in a Sticky?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Next Fri... she starts on the 10th Sept.

    I had to get age 4 skirts, got them from M&S as they have adjustable waists, age 3 were too short but perfect in the waist!

    You're good sewing name tags in, I got the iron in ones for nursery, they're ok but do come off after a while. I need to get labels for lunch boxes/water bottles etc.... still need to buy shoes too :eek:
